Kohler's Disease Case Report: Treatment with Regenerative Distraction Arthroplasty Technology
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Medical Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Kohler’s disease is a rare condition which in most cases responds to non-operative management. This report presents an unusual case where the thinning of the navicular resulted in a symptomatic pathological fracture. The patient was treated initially by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF). The fracture united and the patient’s symptoms initially resolved. Three years later, symptomatic peri-navicular arthritis developed which was treated by distraction arthroplasty leading to symptom resolution. This case presents a novel solution which otherwise would have resulted in a complex midfoot fusion in a young patient. The methodology demonstrates the utility of new technological advances in joint regenerative technology.
